My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer-Chapter 378 Deal
Hephaestus started laughing in front of Ezra, again in an animated, outgoing voice.
"I didn't teach you to be so serious!" She exclaimed.
Grabbing Ezra's head by the arm she again gestured asking the two mages to follow her.
"Come with me, let's have a drink while we plan some of your weapon."

"Unfortunately I need to deal with some flight group business. We can continue this conversation later" Orion said.
"No problem, thanks for the ride" Luke replied.
"Enjoy and already start using the new sword for flying, but avoid climbing too much by yourself. You're still a beginner" Answered Orion, who was carrying the two flying swords on his back.
The fact that Orion needed to leave early only made it more clear how busy and quite important a man he was at the academy.
Now Luke and Ezra were left talking to Master Hepha. The three of them were in a room in the center of the forge building.
The room was less stuffy, although you could still feel the heat from the rooms next door. Just by touching the wall it was already possible to perceive a high temperature.
This room was a different area from the rest of the building, with a large shelf filled with books and what appeared to be manuscripts. A gigantic square table was crowded with drawings and inkblots.
Near the walls were small tables that appeared to be intended for individual use. A little closer to the shelves was a different table, larger and with a leather chair that appeared to be much more comfortable. Sitting down in this chair and soiling it even more with soot and grime, Master Hepha began to ask Luke several questions.
'I'm not that busy... Maybe planning a part of my sword now is not so bad'
'So boy, Orion and I are going to talk about your sword enchantments. But in the end, the one who will use this equipment is you... Tell me what you seek in a greatsword" Master Hepha said.
Luke stopped for a moment, crossing his arms, he began to visualize what would be the ideal weapon for him.
He would probably avoid using such a large sword for dueling, but the ability to get around with a weapon was something extremely fascinating and useful. Besides being extremely versatile.
The half-wolf would need his flying sword to be sturdy, have a light weight so that transporting it out of inventory would be easier, after all when needed he would need to carry other weapons that would do more his fighting style.
Since it would be a magic weapon, it would be interesting if the equipment could concentrate some of his mana. This would help him to carry enchantments and control the sword even if he was not using it at the moment.
A large handle would be useful, after all it would make it easier to remove the sword from his back, and controlling a large piece of equipment with two hands was more comfortable for Half-Wolf.
As for the color, a completely black sword would be ideal. That way it would not attract attention when he was flying over in the night.
Luke was quite reflective as to what his new utility weapon would look like.
Breaking the silence that had remained for a few seconds, Hepha stood up and threw some papers on the table Luke was sitting on.
"Those are some reference diagrams for the shape of the sword. If you are not interested in any, we can design together a style that will do more to your liking" The forge master said.
"I have an idea, can you give me some blank paper?" Answered Luke.
Ezra held out a pen to him, and with a piece of paper given to him by Hephaestus, Luke began to draw how he envisioned an effective sword.
The sword did not have many curves, its blade was complete on both sides. Since it was a greatsword for flight, Luke placed a slightly larger area, giving an almost rectangular shape to the sword. At the tip, there was a one-sided triangular shape, which indicated that it could be better used when attacking forward.
There was a hole at the beginning of the sword blade, the idea was to make it easier to carry the weapon when Luke put it on his back.
"Ara ara, you have made quite an ambitious design. This hole may end up hindering the quality of the sword at the end only design" Hepha said.
"That is why I am ordering this weapon for you, I know this won't be a problem for a lady as skilled as you" Luke said.
"Oh" Hepha was surprised at the quick response. And slapping the half-wolf on the back she tried to ignore that line and just continued with the questions about the weapon.
"You want the sword completely black. Interesting, this is going to be a flying sword so I think it would be interesting to improve the shape of that area in the center of the blade. How about we make it like that?" Said Hepha who took the pen and started drawing over the design made by Luke.
She placed a sort of small handle inside the circle that the half-wolf had designed.
"This way we will decrease the air intake during flight, it will also be easier to put her on her back. A support in the middle will help keep the mana flowing faster too" Hepha concluded
"It would be helpful to put a remote control orb on the sword handle. Luke has plenty of mana, he will have no problem controlling it. Besides, using it to control it from a distance should be very useful" Ezra said.
"You're right blue brat, good idea! Orion always puts control orbs on his swords, I had forgotten to give that suggestion now" Hepha said.
'I see, so Orion can control his swords so well because of that. This orb makes it easy to control them remotely.
Ezra then turned to Luke and figuring the half-wolf didn't understand what this was about, he began to explain.
'It takes a lot of mana to make a sword fly straight at a distance. A control orb makes it easy for you to handle it remotely, it's quite common for them to put it on daggers so it goes back to the user's hand" The blue haired boy said as Hepha ran her hand over his head.
'I see, so that means I could use several swords at the same time in combat.
Inside the half-wolf's head, several possibilities began to appear. He was visualizing the confrontation in future battles, daydreaming.
[Luke, are you really thinking about this?]
'Yes... It will be easier to annihilate Melki's troops this way. Even if I used a sword in each hand, it would still be laborious.'
[So you're planning to order more swords to more easily annihilate those groups, that's really an interesting idea'
Looking into Ezra's eyes, Luke questioned him about this idea.
'So you mean it's possible to control more than one sword at the same time, right? For example use one sword flying to defend yourself while with another you duel.
"Hmm, I don't know. Master Hepha, have you ever heard of it?" Questioned the blue haired boy.
"One of the fencing teachers at the academy uses this style of combat, it is possible. It makes dueling multiple enemies much easier, but controlling more than two flying swords at the same time is practically impossible.
Luke gave a smile, it was one more challenge he would challenge himself to complete.
"Hooo, what's all the cheering. Do you really believe you can do this?" f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶
"Can I pick up some swords with that orb? Just to practice control. I think I can master up to five" The half-wolf said.
"Ara Ara. I can lend you a few daggers, but I doubt you could successfully control more than two" Hepha replied.
"Wanna bet?" Luke said.
"I'll do whatever you want if you can. This task is impossible even for a teacher, don't be so arrogant boy" Hephaestus said, with his clenched eyes and his typical smile.
"Deal" Luke replied.
"Hmm, what a determined man. What are you going to ask for? Maybe you want this woman's mature body" Hepha replied.
The forge master then crossed her arms, causing her large breasts to bounce upwards. Her face was a little flushed, she had been drunk since Luke had entered the building.
'That half-wolf is handsome, and he looks strong. I like men like that' thought the forge mistress.
Emily Hephaestus Redwillion was an extremely provocative and lively woman, although she always stayed only in the trials. She was both a woman who loved to flirt and a powerful and serious blacksmith.
Ezra blushed at the forge master's response. Putting both hands to his ears.
"I want your body making more swords for me" Luke replied.
Hephaestus began to laugh, slapping his leg again. She really was a different woman than usual, a little strange to tell you the truth.
Going over to one of the tables, Hepha grabbed a bottle of alcohol and started drinking, while watching the two boys talk about the flying sword project.
'Ezra really grown up quickly, my little lonely smith. Fuck I'm talking like an old lady'.
She then gave a warm smile observing the two so dedicated. With a feeling of pride in her chest at the dedication of the little 'blue brat'.
